This is exactly the authoritarian playbook. Bit by bit you erode the institutions that maintain the rule of law. And nobody knows it when you quietly pass the point of no return.
Is this a bit by bit? I saw something on the sanctions just a bit ago. Coupled with all of this, it feels like a full on assault.
This is scary. Truly scary.
Well, he hasnât declared martial law just yet, or criminalized the Democratic Party.
The dishonest and complicit shitshow by Republicans continues. Again partisan hackery over country and duty to office, much less serving the public.
And yet, Iâm waiting for the Reichstag fire any day now.
Like I said, they want the Special Counsel gone. They are scared as hell
In one yes, but damn it is a clumsy, ham fisted process. I am going to go with the last throes of an empire on fire.
This is certainly not about simple questionable business practices related to the Trump family. It is a lot more. And they are doing a crappy job of hiding it.
If the FBI wasnât full of Trump-hating Democrats before, it is now.
Hey, friends of liberal democracy in the Westâs intelligence services, if you have any really juicy stuff on you-know-who now would be a good time to release it. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.
It is only Monday.
Republicans have launched an open assault on the rule of law. If they are so desperate to discredit the Russian investigation that they would sign on to Nunezâs conspiracy it makes you wonder just how many of them know that the NRA was giving them putinâs Dirty money.
Any flickering justification for sitting politely and bearing silent witness to Trumpâs teleprompter-normalization act went out the window today.
The Democratic response to the SOTU needs to come during the SOTU, not after it.
They need to choose someone that everyone will watch as well.
Anybody think PuPPet will speak to this swipe at democracy at the State of The Uniom address tomorrow
Better start boning up on who the Joint Chiefs of Staff are pretty soonâŚ
This is interesting: âWhite House legislative aide Marc Short on Sunday said that Trump is âinclinedâ to release the memo, but does not know what it contains.â That seems like a very cautious and sober way to proceed.
The end game is very clear now. Mueller has the shit on Trump and his cronies. The GOP Congress will try to distract and muddy the waters every way possible.
Donât fall for it.
Time for the FBI to expand its investigation to include Republican members of Congress who were probably helped by the Russians in the 2016 elections, too. Matt Gaetz, Iâm looking at you, specifically.
